Cotton has lost many ancestral defensive traits against key invertebrate pests. This is suggested by the levels of resistance to some pests found in wild cotton genotypes as well as in cultivated landraces and is a result of domestication and a long history of targeted breeding for yield and fiber quality, along with the capacity to control pests with pesticides. Genetic modification (GM) allow...

Herbicide resistance is a growing threat to agriculture and has parallels to resistances to fungicides and insecticides. However, there are many reasons to treat the resistance to herbicides differently. To highlight these similarities and differences, three pests, a weed, an insect, and a disease that have shown the ability to rapidly develop resistance to a variety of products and product cla...

In [4] B. Y. Chen studied warped product CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds. Afterward, I. Hasegawa and I. Mihai [5] obtained a sharp inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form for contact CR-warped products in Sasakian space form. Recently Alegre, Blair and Carriago [1] introduced generalized Sasakian space form. The aim of present paper is to study contact CR-warped prod...

Recently, the author established general inequalities for CR-doubly warped products isometrically immersed in Sasakian space forms. In the present paper, we obtain sharp estimates for the squared norm of the second fundamental form (an extrinsic invariant) in terms of the warping functions (intrinsic invariants) for contact CR-doubly warped products isometrically immersed in Kenmotsu space form...
